High school heart throb, or time traveling heart throb?
You may have heard or seen news about this recent film "Boy Next Door," where high school teacher Claire Peterson, played by Jennifer Lopez, has an affair with and is later terrorized by a charming 19-year-old boy ... NEXT DOOR ... named Noah, played by Ryan Guzman.
But one moment in the film defies logic and takes it from sweet to hilariously awkward. In the scene, which may rival the baby doll in "American Sniper" for cringe-worthiness, Noah hands Claire a gift for being so nice to him: a copy of Homer's "The Iliad." Claire takes the book and, taken aback, says, "This is a first edition." Claire tries to refuse the gift, based on how expensive it must have been. "It was a buck at a garage sale," says Noah.
Did you catch the inconsistency? We'll give you a hint: "The Iliad" is an epic poem estimated to be about 3,000 years old. The oldest, most complete version of the text is called the Venetus A, which dates back to the late 10th century.
First edition? This kid is good.
Anyway, check out WTFark host Mike Rylander's hilarious video analysis of the scene.
